Vv. uuUtUCE COCKRAN, Orator and Ex-Congressman j$ir<rrir’i | |iiii | pii'i||ii'inuiii|»imiati|iitiTpsiitisnYwynniviii , |m'HU‘miuiipinnrm|rPTlHM|Hli life can be claimed successful u'nless it be a hajipy one. Happiness is the object of universal endeavor, and hap piness alone i3 success. . Of course when we speak of a happy life we do not .mean a condition of uninterrupted bliss. Sickness, death and other .disasters lie in wait for every man, even the most successful, making difficult the progress which overcomes them, wounding and blistering the feet which theyj cannot arrest. THE CUP OP 8UCCESS CANNOT BE QUAFFED WITHOUT TA8TING 80ME BITTER DREGS OF DISAPPOINTMENT. PERFECT HAPPINE88 18 NOT OF THIS EARTH. BY A SUCCESSFUL LIFE WE MEAN NOT ONE WHICH HAS ESCAPED ALL 80RR0W, BUT ONE WHICH BY COMPARISON WITH OTHERS HAS ACHIEVED A LARGER DEGREE OF HAPPINESS. '' What fa happiness? Is it fame? Some wise men hold that fame Js posthumous and notoriety con temporaneous, but without pausing to consider the grounds of that belief it fa certain that the only fruit which fame or notoriety brings to its living possessor fa the sense that his fellow men aro curious about him. NO ONE CAN BE CONSIDERED FAMOUS UNTIL HE IS DEAD. A, REWARD WHICH CAN BE ENJOYED ONLY BEYOND THE GRAVE IS NOT A TEMPORAL SUCCESS AND THEREFORE IS’NOT WITH IN THE 'PURVIEW OF THIS DISCUSSION. Is power happiness? I am inclined tq think that it is far from being so. Ask the pos sessor of it, and he will tell you that it fa an obstacle to all con tentment. Power is a good deal like commercial credit. A man can possess it only when lie refrains from using it f6r his bwn benefit. An attempt to utilize it for personal gratification destroys it. Is knowledge happiness? The utmost that a life devotecl to study can hope to accomplish fa to discover the fountain of knowledge. Not one of us can ever hope to slake his thirst at it. THEREFORE, IF KNOWLEDGE BE HAPPINESS, THEN INDEED IS HAPPINESS UNAT TAINABLE. Is nvealth happiness? Look at those who possess it .and tell me if you think they are a happy race. Who that has observed in these catacombs of modern cities called safe deposits the owners of millions, gloomy as the pas sages through which they move silently, alfaiost furtively, to com partments appropriately named vaults, where, in an isolation abso lute as a grave, they count their securities or change them, WILL SAY THAT, JUDGED BY APPEARANCES, THE VERY RICH LEAD LIVES OF UNCLOUDED JOY? If wealth, power, fame and knowledge are not happiness, in what does it consist ? Is it unattainable ? No. So far from being unat tainable, it fa not even difficult to reach. It fa at our feet, and, as often liapmns, we stumble over the substance which fa close to us while straining after its shadow in the distance. HAPPINE83 CON8I8T8 NOT IN OUR POSSE88ION3, BUT IN OUR8ELVE3; NOT IN WHAT WE HAVE, BUT IN WHAT WB ARE. I THINK HAPPINESS MAY BE DEFINED AS ABSORPTION IN 80ME FORM OF EFFECTIVE LABOR. You may say some men are unhappy though they work every day-9-nay, some men declare their occupations are sources of discon tent because they are arduous. Do not be deceived. A man’s hands may be busy, yet he may be unhappy, hut it fa because his mind is not occupied by his task. Where all the faculties, mental and physical, fare absorbed in any form of industry, there fa no time to feel discontent and still less time to express it HAPPINESS IS EFFECTIVE LABOR. OUR POSSES SIONS ARE OFTEN SOURCES OF DISAPPOINTMENT, BUT THE LABOR SPENT IN ACQUIRING THEM IS ALWAYS A SOURCE OF SATISFACTION.
